There are 24 boat-launching ramps around the lake, three floating restaurants and many islands to explore, the most famous being “Goat Island,” which is actually inhabited with goats that can sometimes be spotted grazing at the shoreline.​Enjoy your trip and soak in as much of the relaxation and fun that you have time for, while remembering what else there is to offer that can be experienced in your next trip to Oklahoma's gem in the woodlands.
